Chapter 995: The Great Poison Array

“Happy Boss, is there another purpose behind your visit to the Five Poisons Sect this time to cause trouble… like looking for someone?”
Originally just two unimportant figures, but because of these words, Happy’s senses immediately shifted. He slowly turned around to face two pairs of eyes shining with uncertainty and excitement, and asked calmly, “What do you know?”
“Over the past two months, the two of us have decided to stop playing around, but we didn’t want the people of the Five Poisons Sect to have an easy time either. So, before leaving, we decided to cause some trouble for them… We took turns monitoring the main hall in Yangzhou every day, gathering a lot of information and some rather strange things.”
“That’s right! We think these things might interest Happy Boss.”
The mysterious words of the two finally piqued Happy’s interest:
“Speak.”
One of them glanced around hesitantly.
The other urged him, “What’s there to fear? Since the Five Poisons Sect is already in such a mess, if it can help Happy Boss completely destroy them, what’s there to worry about?”
Encouraged by his companion, the first person seemed to make up his mind and said through gritted teeth, “Over the past month, there’s been a group of regular full-time players from the Five Poisons Sect who return to the main hall at fixed times every day…”
“Full-time players?”
Happy frowned slightly, quickly sensing something unusual in it.
“Do they go in and never come out?”
The two didn’t expect Happy to figure out the key point so quickly. Their excitement grew, and they nodded vigorously:
“Yes!”
“It’s because of this strangeness that we noticed later that many people often came out of the Martial Temple for no apparent reason. They all wore conical hats and headed toward the resource points outside the city after coming out.”
“Anything else?”
“Also, when we were returning to Yangzhou City, we saw two women coming out of the main hall. It was at the time when you killed Ao Cangsheng. They weren’t from the Five Poisons Sect, but we’ve seen them enter and leave the sect several times, staying for long periods.”
“Did you follow them?” Happy looked serious.
The two women they mentioned were clearly experts from the Wild Wolf Organization, close to Ao Cangsheng!
Putting it all together explained why there were large numbers of full-time players coming in and out of the Five Poisons Sect’s main hall and the Martial Temple every day. The Five Poisons Sect was secretly providing hiding places for the Wild Wolf Organization’s members and sacrificing them to create the Star of Death!

It would be even better if they could obtain more information from those two, understanding their purpose and mission for staying in the Central Plains. As soon as he spoke, the two people across from him awkwardly shook their heads: “They disappear right after coming out each time; it’s impossible to track them.” “…” Happy wasn’t surprised at all. These two were international mercenaries with strong anti-tracking abilities, so it was natural they couldn’t be easily tracked by two inexperienced folks from the martial world. Though disappointed, they still provided him with a good idea and some clues… Life-class professionals. Since the Five Poisons Sect used life-class professionals to provide shelter and cover for its experts in the Wolf Pack organization, those experts would likely move elsewhere, and these life-class professionals would probably follow—replacing such a large group was clearly impractical and prone to leaks. An idea struck him. Happy quickly realized this was a great way to find the Wolf Pack experts and force them to reveal their whereabouts! As long as he could determine the movements of these life-class professionals, he could trace them to find where the experts of the Wolf Pack organization were… “You said just now that you’re sworn enemies of the Five Poisons Sect, right?” Happy looked up at them with a smile. “I have a task for you. I wonder if you two are interested… If you complete it, you’ll each get a drop of ‘Fire Kirin’s Blood’.” Their eyes lit up, and they replied in unison! “Anything to deal with the Five Poisons Sect—just tell us, Boss Happy. The reward doesn’t matter; the key is killing as many of their people as possible!” “Do you know those life-class professionals who often come and go from the Yangzhou headquarters?” “Well…” The two hesitated for a moment before answering, “We don’t know them personally, but we can find out. We can just ask a few people and find out.” “Good!” “Help me investigate where they’ve gone.” “Although I destroyed the Yangzhou headquarters, logically, these life-class professionals shouldn’t have left the resource site… Find out where those life-class professionals from the Five Poisons Sect who left Yangzhou City are now. If they’re not there, track down where they went, or at least tell me their names—I’ll investigate.” “Okay!” The two turned to leave. Suddenly, Happy called them back: “Oh, I forgot to ask your names.” “I’m Tie Ta!” “…I’m Xiao Xiong Bing Jian!” “Well, both names are quite unique. Go ahead. Let me know as soon as you have any news. Maybe you’ll have the chance to completely destroy the Five Poisons Sect.”

“Don’t worry, Happy Boss! We’ll definitely handle this!”
“We’re leaving!”
As Tie Ta and Little Bear left, Happy quickly passed on the news to Bai Xiaosheng, asking him to keep an eye out as well. Then he headed to the nearby dock, ready to travel by water to Nanjing, the next branch of the Five Poisons Sect.
…
The journey wasn’t peaceful at all!
The boat was sunk while crossing the reed marshes, and they faced seven or eight waves of fierce resistance along the way! The attackers came from various directions.
Evil experts from the Blood Alliance; various poisonous insects from the Five Poisons Sect; assassins with no identifying marks; and some who dared not show themselves but shot arrows from hiding.
However, these people were clearly assembled hastily, mainly to buy time. They posed no real threat to Happy and instead left hundreds of corpses floating in the river behind them.
Still, they weren’t completely ineffective.
At least the boat had sunk to the bottom of the river, forcing Happy to take a land route.
It was an hour and a half later when they entered Nanjing…
…
“The Prophet has finally taken action.”
“Without the Prophet’s help, they couldn’t have guessed you’d take the water route. But this only proves that the Wild Wolves might have gone to Nanjing. Be careful.”
“I know… Just like the messages from my two informants, a group of professional players from the Five Poisons Sect have all gone to Nanjing…”
“When you get to Nanjing, there might be a fierce battle. Besides the Five Poisons Sect and the Blood Alliance, as well as the experts from Yipin Hall and some well-known assassin clans from the Central Plains, there are also the Wild Wolves’ experts. This time, you’re really stepping into a den of tigers!”
“Even if it’s a den of tigers, I have to go in!”
…
The moment they entered Nanjing City, Happy clearly sensed a grim atmosphere pervading the city. People on both sides of the streets stared at him with strange, heavy looks, and from the heights of the nearby restaurants, there were also hostile gazes…
Every time they moved forward, someone’s gaze followed them.
Ordinary players couldn’t see through his hat to identify him, but these people hid their murderous intent no longer—clearly, someone had already marked him in advance.
“…”
…
“It’s Happy!”
“Heavens! He really came!”
“Haha, the Five Poisons Sect is in trouble now. After destroying their branches in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, they’re rushing to Nanjing…”
“Let’s go! Watch the spectacle.”
“See how many more people from the Five Poisons Sect will die this time.”

Seeing that his whereabouts were now exposed to the enemy, Kai Xin stopped hiding them altogether. He boldly removed his hat and rode at full speed down the street, amidst the gasps of countless players. With the thundering sound of his hooves, he headed straight for the Wudu Sect’s branch in Nanjing City.

Thud!
Thud-thud-thud!!!
“Haha, let’s go!”
Kai Xin sped through the streets at incredible speed.
Behind him, the sound of clothes swirling through the air and doves flapping their wings echoed continuously, with countless players following closely behind.
Wherever Kai Xin passed, it was as if a domino effect was triggered—the entire street became chaotic, and everyone there was drawn into the frenzy, spreading rapidly…
This scene left those who had planned to attack Kai Xin in secret extremely frustrated!
“That bastard!”
“How arrogant!!”
Even Kai Xin alone was enough to make them wary.
Now, with a whole crowd of onlookers following him, various factions were alerted in advance, and they had lost their chance to strike secretly.
Even at the Wudu Sect’s branch, it would be inconvenient for them to get involved…

The Wudu Sect’s branch was in sight!
A large number of Wudu Sect disciples were already waiting outside. All kinds of deadly insects swarmed around the area, filling the space with a thick, nauseating stench and poisonous mist.
Insects flying in the air, snakes, scorpions, and centipedes crawling on the walls, along with countless other poisonous creatures whose names people couldn’t even recall, surrounded the entire Wudu Sect’s branch, turning it into a massive poison depot—a sight truly terrifying!
On the steps of the main gate stood Ao Cangsheng along with a group of high-ranking Wudu Sect members dressed in unique, unconventional attire…
Those who arrived nearby couldn’t help but gasp in shock at this sight!
“Twelve followers of the Witchcraft Sect!”
“My god! The Wudu Sect is ready to fight to the death!”
“The Great Poison Array, the Twelve Witchcraft Arrays!”
Just as countless martial artists were stunned by the Wudu Sect’s formation and held their breath, the sound of loud horse hooves rushed toward them.
Ao Cangsheng and his group’s expressions changed slightly.
Thirteen of them simultaneously took out exquisite witchcraft boxes, holding them carefully in their hands as they stared intently in the direction from which the horse hooves came—toward the single rider and horse that appeared in their sight!
“Finally, they’ve arrived.”
Ao Cangsheng’s eyes were filled with coldness.
“Form the array!!”
At his command, countless Wudu Sect disciples outside the branch opened the small cauldrons in their hands…
A thick cloud of poisonous mist spread rapidly at a visible speed. The various insects crawling in the areas around and on the walls of the Wudu Sect’s branch became extremely active once they came into contact with this poisonous mist!

The vipers struck the ground with fierce intensity, producing a crisp sound.
The frequency of the poisonous insects’ wingbeats soared!
In an instant, the sounds of insects and snakes filled the air nonstop! The Five Poisons Sect’s branch hall turned into a terrifying paradise of poisons! Its momentum was awe-inspiring!
